Laredo (Acoustic)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Many years ago, in the town of Laredo At an old rodeo A young vaquero from Colorado Met a girl from Mexico She was the daughter of a humble ranchero And he couldn't keep his eyes off of her He didn't know much Spanish, just enough to tip his hat And lead her to the floor [Chorus] And they danced Under the light of a Texas moon Luna llena, sin palabras they moved In his arms, she found somethin' true As they were speaking with their eyes Swaying to the rhythm of A beautiful, unspoken touch They let go Love is in Laredo In the mornin', he will rise Saddle up and say, "Goodbye" But they know Love is in Laredo [Verse 2] Many suns have set over the horizon Since she last saw his silhouette She tried to push his love out of her mind Sometimes a heart won't forget He spent the summer moving cattle in the Rockies Working his hands to the bone He saved every penny 'til he had just enough to Make his way back to her door [Chorus] And they danced Under the light of a Texas moon Luna llena, sin palabras they moved In his arms, she found somethin' true As they were speaking with their eyes Swaying to the rhythm of A beautiful, unspoken touch They let go Love is in Laredo In the morning, he will rise Saddle up and say, "Goodbye" But they know Love is in Laredo-ooh [Bridge] Thirty years later, their granddaughter saddles up For her first rodeo They tell her the story of when a young vaquero Met a girl from Mexico [Chorus] And how they danced Under the light of a Texas moon Luna llena, sin palabras they moved In his arms, she found somethin' true And still, they're speaking with their eyes Swaying to the rhythm of A beautiful, unspoken touch They let go Love is in Laredo In the morning, he will rise Saddle up and say, "Goodbye" But they know Love is in Laredo-ooh [Outro] Oh-ooh
